Monday’s episode of RAW was newsworthy to say the least ..
– The show opened with the finals of the WWE Championship tournament – which saw Rey Mysterio defeat Rey Mysterio to win the WWE Championship.
– Triple H gave his “State of WWE” address and announced that Mysterio would defend his newly won championship later in the show against John Cena.
– Jim Ross returned to the RAW announcer’s table, in one of the first changes to WWE by the new CEO, Triple H.
– John Morrison returned and attacked R-Truth. Morrison had been sidelined since May after undergoing surgery to correct a pinched nerve in his neck.
– Zack Ryder got his first win on RAW, defeating Michael Cole in a quick match set up by Triple H.
– John Cena defeated Rey Mysterio in a PPV-caliber match to become new WWE champion, ending Mysterio’s hour-long reign.
– CM Punk returned at the end of the show (with new theme music) and had a Champion vs. Champion staredown with John Cena.
It looks like we’ve got our SummerSlam main event.
